Summer is OFFICALLY here!!!!

Happy first day of summer!!!

i am off for 2 months and looking forward to each and every moment! this of course doesn't start til after the 8th of July... i plan on getting alot of sewing done. i am looking forward to upgrading my work wordrobe from dress jeans and long sleeved t's and cardigans to dresses and skirt and jumpers to wear with long sleeved t's and cardigans! there was a time when i only work dresses!! i want to at least get back into it for work...but since i sit at a desk all day, on the computer, getting up very little, just to move around in my area....jeans oops, i mean dress jeans are very comfortable. so we shall see. i have some great patterns and awesome fabric so let us see if i can merge the 2 together....but i have to remember that what ever i make it has to be confortable for sitting most of the day LOL i like jumpers that can be worn with short sleeved t's in the summer and long sleeved t's and leggings or leotards in the winter...Down to earth, comfy but dressy clothing....

i have alot of charity sewing to do, and hopefully pick up a few sewing jobs to supplement my lack of income over the summer! lol oh but what fun i am going to have!

i also want to put more up in my Etsy shop. so needless to say it will be a busy, but wonderful and full summer, i plan on enjoying every minute of it.

i plan on being around more often, but for now, it is exam time and i am partially responsible for getting out the exams in the morning for the teachers and need to get to work a bit earlier so i can have myself organized, exams ready to go!

our next chat will be sooner because i need to get blogging more, producing more, sharing more. talking about sharing, i will have to post some great pictures of my Pirate! lol til next time, NIGHT!!

I am not good at this....just saying of course........

it has been a busy year...i changed jobs....not what i wanted to do because i was passionate about working and helping people achieve independance with employment....but one can only deal with harrassment from coworkers for so long with everyone else, knowing but turning a blind eye to it. so i applied out, taken from hell and put into a wonderful job with an awesome group of co-workers and staff that have been so supportive! i do miss my 'old' job, but with this new job, there is such a great learning curve. they say it will take a year to learn this job! At first i didn't think so, but after being there since October 25, i truly believe it will take me a full year! HA

with this new job, i now no longer work 12 months!! YES....i now have 2 weeks off at christmas, spring break off and 2 wonderful summer months!! Summer in my pool....YES....i am so looking forward to it! ....but .....now i have to get a job...searched my options.....i did open an ETSY site
www.etsy.com/shop/eyesofyellow
i did sell one scarf. i don't have much on it, so i am busy trying to sew up a few little dresses to sell to suppliment my lost income so i don't have to work outside of the home for those laid off weeks. EI and sewing income, that just might work. i can give it a try and see what happens. wish me luck!!!
i will have to gather myself and post some pictures of what i have been sewing/crafting lately.

now that i have settled into my 'new, no stress job', i hope to be more proactive on here. i think posting here will help me keep on track of what i need to get done.

'til next time
